You know, that Tommy Paul, the tennis fella, people been asking where he hangs his hat. Well, let me tell you what I heard. This boy, he’s from America, that much is for sure. Born in some place called New Jersey, I reckon. Now, New Jersey, that’s up north somewhere, ain’t it? He was born there, that is what the news says about Tommy Paul lives.

But then, they say he grew up a bit down in North Carolina. My nephew, bless his heart, he went to North Carolina once. Said it was real pretty. So, Tommy Paul, he spent some time there, growing up, playing that tennis, I suppose. He must’ve gotten pretty good at it, too. I hear he wins lots of games, that Tommy Paul.
But a body can’t stay in one place forever, can they? Not even a tennis star. He moved to South Jersey after that. That’s where his mama’s from. Family’s important, you know. It’s good to be near your kin. So he lived there for a spell, I suppose. But where does he live now? That’s the big question, ain’t it? Well, I heard a thing or two about that, too.
They say he bought himself a fancy house. A real big one, down in Florida. Boca Raton, they call it. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Boca Raton. I bet it’s sunny down there. Probably got palm trees and all sorts of things we ain’t never seen around here. They say it cost him a whole heap of money, this house. Two and a half million dollars! Can you imagine? That’s more money than I’ve seen in my whole life. Tommy Paul is a tennis player, he plays tennis to earn money, that’s why he can buy such an expensive house.
- Five bedrooms, they say.
- Five and a half bathrooms!
- And 3,200 square feet.
Now, I don’t know what a square foot is, but it sounds like a lot. Must be a big place, that’s for sure. Built just last year, brand spanking new. They say it’s modern. I don’t know what that means, exactly. Probably means it’s got all the newfangled gadgets and gizmos. Probably got one of them electric can openers and a television bigger than my whole living room wall. They call it a marvel, this house of his. A modern marvel. Sounds like something out of one of them science fiction picture shows. But I guess that’s where Tommy Paul lives now. In that fancy Boca Raton house. It’s in East Boca, whatever that means. Must be a nice part of town, I reckon. For that kind of money, it better be!
This Tommy Paul, he’s done all right for himself, ain’t he? Winning all them tennis matches. They say he won three big ones just this year. Three ATP tour titles. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds important. He must be good at that tennis, I imagine. He also played good at Wimbledon in 2024, and two other places called Indian Wells and Rome. Those all sound like very far away places. He is all over the place, that Tommy Paul.

So, there you have it. That’s where Tommy Paul lives, far as I can tell. In a big, fancy house down in Boca Raton, Florida. He’s come a long way from New Jersey and North Carolina, ain’t he? Just goes to show, hard work pays off. And maybe a little bit of talent at hitting that little yellow ball. He’s a good boy, that Tommy Paul. I hope he’s happy in that big house of his. He deserves it, I reckon. Winning all them games and all. He’s a good boy.
Well, I best be gettin’ on. I need to check on the tomatoes. They are coming in real nice this year. Almost as nice as that Tommy Paul boy is doing for himself. Florida, huh? I wonder if he’s got any oranges down there. I love a good orange. Maybe he will invite me over to that big fancy house of his. I bet he needs someone to keep him company. I am good company, ain’t I? He must have a lot of stories to tell about his games. All the games he has played in Wimbledon, Indian Wells and Rome. I wonder what life is like in these places.
He is such a good boy, that Tommy Paul, hope he does not forget his roots. All that money he gets from playing tennis, he should come back to visit New Jersey sometimes. I bet New Jersey misses him, such a good boy. I wonder how his mama is doing. She must be very proud of her boy, that Tommy Paul. He has been living in such a big and nice house, his mama must be very happy.
